The Advantages of Taking Private Music Lessons

Whether you’re a parent looking to enroll your child into a nice music institution or a student seeking to broaden your artistic horizons, the right choice could spell just how much you can learn in the first place. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider getting private music lessons in Orange County, CA from instructors like Mark Hamrock of Hamrock Music.

Private music lessons

People who are put in the same work or learning group typically pit themselves against each other, hence making them susceptible to constant frustration. While this type of friendly competition can be an excellent means of encouragement for others, it can be demotivating for some. If you are one of the latter sort, then you should definitely get a private lesson.

Practice

Another advantage is that you can practice more efficiently, as described by an article in WilliamsburgFamilies.com:

“A young musician needs to learn HOW to practice. […] A student spends more time weekly alone in a practice room (or at home) with the instrument than he/she does with a private instructor each week, so that time needs to be well spent.”

Personal Motivation

Of course, few can trump the benefits of a mentor who not only guides you through the lesson, but even personally motivates you to be the best you can. You can definitely expect this to some extent from a private instructor. Indeed, motivation towards personal success tends to work best when it’s aimed at the individual instead of sprinkling it over a group.

After choosing an institution to learn from, the next step is preparing for your private Orange County guitar lessons. Know that as much as a reputable instructor can help you achieve your musical competence goals, the rest is really up to how you handle yourself, and how much you are willing to learn.
